Ventus let out a tired sigh, shaking his head at the mention of Corsage's nightmarish difficulty it has. "Unfortunately, I don't believe I will ever grow fond of this port to like you. As an empath, the town atmosphere is almost unbearable to me; if I hadn't enured myself to trauma early on in my life, I would be far worse off than just being moody and irritable. As soon as me and Nathan get our badges here, I plan on taking my leave of the place, and venturing for sunnier shores," he said, his normally energeticness diminishing to show just how bone tired he was. The town was wearing him down, ever so slowly; his recent battle bolsted his flagging spirits, but just how long will he last here?

Feeling Shiva's happiness over his now former debtor status quickly returned the pep in him, and her accepting his invitation just made his smile grow boldy radient, a shining beacon in the gloominess of the town. "Thank you, my friend. If you are heading for the Aquirium tomorrow, I'll wait for you there; I have guard duty tonight at the locale, so we should be able me up with ease. Perhaps explore the exhibits too, if you wish. They have an Water Pokemon Petting Zoo featuring a rather friendly Vaporeon, so I'm sure you'll enjoy your time there!"

He handed over the Black Glasses and the material with only a nod of his head. Given the knick knacks and the various objects she displayed in her rooms throughout the journey, he's completely confidant in her ability to complete the task, and it shows!
When she acquired about the location of Valder, he shook his head in negatively. "Unfortunately, I have not. I gave him permission to explore the town at his discretion, and conduct whatever work he wanted, so long as it has no negative consequences. He'll eventually turn up to inform me of his activities, but as of now I am as much in the dark about him as your are. When I do meet up with them, though, I will escort him to you for whatever matter you desire to discuss with him," Ventus said, looking a little worried about what she said, but dismissed it almost immedianlty. Shiva, despite what her appearance my belay, was quite the capable women, and could handle tricky situation quite well.

Ventus let out a sigh, and turned to reluctantly leave Shiva's company. "As much as I would love to continue to chat with you, I must head on to my appointed task. We'll see each in the morning, though, so fret not about me, and try to get a good night's sleep."

Order: Leave Shiva (Sadly), and head towards the Aquarium to start that encounter there. In the morning, Ventus will hang around there and show her around the place, and hopefully give her a great time as well!
